...one sees differently with color photography than black-and-white... in short, visualization must be modified by the specific nature of the equipment and materials being used.

We all know the tragedy of the dustbowls, the cruel unforgivable erosions of the soil, the depletion of fish or game, and the shrinking of the noble forests. And we know that such catastrophes shrivel the spirit of the people... The wilderness is pushed back, man is everywhere. Solitude, so vital to the individual man, is almost nowhere.

Image quality is not the product of a machine, but of the person who directs the machine, and there are no limits to imagination and expression.

It is easy to take a photograph, but it is harder to make a masterpiece in photography than in any other art medium.

A photograph is not an accident - it is a concept.

The camera cannot, but the photographer can.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.
